  • Notes 
    • eldest son [death notice],
      army officer, Lieutenant in Kerry Militia from Apr 1810 to Aug 1814 [RIC officers]
      Ensign from Sept 1814 to Aug 1816 [RIC officers], this would apparently be a demotion, perhaps this was because he moved to a different regiment,
      death notice says he was formerly officer in the 27th Regiment,
      [RIC officers] says he became Major, but this seems to be confusion with his father (it confuses his widow with his father's widow),
      later a senior policeman, officer in Irish Constabulary,
      appointed 3rd class Sub Inspector 28 Jan 1823,
      he is listed in [RIC officers],
      Chief Constable of Tullow, Co.Carlow,
      [Patrick Carroll's Notebooks] list him as Chief Constable of Tullow in 1829, living Tullow,
      travelled with his career, did not live at Crotto, it is Thomas, not Richard, who is the occupant listed at Crotto in 1830s,
      death notice describes him as "County Inspector of Meath",
      [Deed, 1842] says Thomas is the "heir at law" of his brother Richard (i.e. heir of Crotto),
